Early polls suggest Arizona Sen. John McCain leads former Rep. J.D. Hayworth by a healthy margin in the GOP primary. Among conservative radio talk show hosts, however, McCain is losing by a landslide.

As McCain gears up for a vigorous challenge from the former six-term House Republican, national conservative talkers are picking up where they left off in the 2008 presidential campaign, blasting McCain as insufficiently conservative and unloading on him with all the bombast they can muster.

Hayworth, himself a former talk radio host, is the beneficiary.

“This is a race about a conservative versus a phony, so let me be the first national host to say it,” blared best-selling author and radio personality Mark Levin on his nationally syndicated program.

"McCain is not a solid conservative. You want to send a signal that will be heard all over the world? Elect J.D. and defeat McCain," Levin concluded.

Earlier this week, popular Fox News television and radio host Glenn Beck — who once said McCain “would've been worse for the country than Barack Obama” — offered his unvarnished take on the Arizona senator during a radio interview with Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.).

"I'm convinced that John McCain is going to be one of the guys who pushes through a health care compromise," complained Beck. "And I don't want any health care through the federal government. Because you know and I know, Senator, that they're going to build this damn machine whether we like it or not," he continued.

"And they're going to build it one piece at a time, and a progressive like John McCain will help them build it," Beck asserted.

When DeMint signaled he was staying out of the Arizona primary, Beck expressed a sigh of relief.

"This is great news to me. So you are not endorsing him or helping him in Arizona?" Beck asked.

"No, I'm not. I know J.D. well, and they can have their own race," DeMint replied.

That conservative talk radio would be focused on the Arizona GOP Senate primary six months before it’s due to take place is a testimony to the hard feelings some conservatives have when it comes to the 2008 GOP presidential nominee.

The nationally syndicated Michael Savage, who "sadly" endorsed McCain in 2008 but at the same time called him a "dunce, a dummy and a walking schmuck," has also lined up behind Hayworth.

“We know McCain is a shame. We know McCain threw the election to Obama,” Savage said Monday, when he hosted Hayworth on his show.

Toward the tail end of a 13-minute long interview where Hayworth welcomed the help of the “Savage Nation,” the host granted his blessing, saying “I believe you should win, and I believe the listeners will support you, J.D. Hayworth.”

Some of the listening audience is only too happy to hear McCain get whacked.

“Part of me just wants to be a spectator and sit back and watch. I’ll have no problem watching McCain fight for his political life," said Erick Erickson, founder of the conservative blog RedState.com.

I do not agree with the commentators, they don't know the voters in Arizona. We know about JD Hayworth, he is corrupt and only out for himself. We know what we have but we don't know what Hayworth will do, I do not trust him. Hayworth likes those earmarks and has no problem spending our money, this is not the time for him to be in the Senate and if by some remote chance he does get elected, he will be the second clown in the Senate, Al Franken being the first.

Sorry McCain but its time to retire your progressive agenda is not what America wants! I am also sorry that Palin is going to campaign for McCain because he never stood up for her as his staff tryed to destroy her. He should be called Mcshame. I understand Palin might think she owes him for bringing her on as VP but he let her down after the electtion with his silence on her attacks from his people. We can't afford any more Dem lights or progressives and we have to pick them off as quickly as possible in both parties as they are doing uncomprehensible damage to our country with cap and tax, health care and the unions growing and gaining power to kill off all private sector business.

If the people of Arizona want another 20-40 millions illegals to become citizens and be put on welfare, medicare and social security then McCain is the peoson to vote for. If you want to vote for a Republican Obama he is your man and if you are that stupid then you deserve him. He is a Democrat in his heart and always will be.

This talk show losers have never elected anyone in their lives. They're all frauds in it for the money, it's a shame that so many dumb Americans listen to this traitors. McCain is a war hero who bleed for his nation, what war did Rush or Levin ever serve in? This idiots just run their mouths.

Be careful of what you wish for. McCain is a proven survivor who likes to take revenge. After Bush scuttled his presidential campaign in 2000 with dirty tricks, McCain went on to undermine much of the Republican agenda.

The main issue between Hayworth and McCain is illegal immigration. McCain was in favor of amnesty, however he denies it, and Hayworth was dead set against it. Soon, the American public at large will have to deal with the issue again/

The Latino nazis, who plan to re-make America into a nation with a Hispanic ethnic majority, via uncontrolled immigration, legal and illegal, are pushing the democrats again for amnesty. The democrats mostly favor it, because they know that 70% of the "Latino" vote is for their party. So, they see the tidal wave of brown people as great news for their socialist, atheist, homosexual agenda. And the brown people themselves? They don't care about anything, except getting more of "their people" into this country, to grow their power.

And if you don't think thats the agenda, have a Spanish speaking friend translate the evening news from Univision or Telemundo for you. The people interviewed on the news shows are very open about what they want-more immigration, more Spanish language catering, no immigration enforcement, basically the agenda is, "what ever La Raza wants, La Raza's gonna get".

Is white America going to wake up, and find the guts to put a stop to this? Are black Americans going to realize that the tidal wave of 3rd world immigrants is not doing them any good? Will Black Americans, who still have the largest share of the democrat party votes, speak up and tell the national leadership they want illegal immigration stopped?

These are serious questions. These are questions about what kind of a nation America is going to be. Are we going to remain a 1st class, white majority nation, English speaking, law abiding and prosperous? or are we going to become part of Latin America, with all that implies?

Remember back in the day when republican meant conservative and democrat meant liberal... now it seems like we have a four party system with a divide growing deeper between cons and mods/ libs and mods. I don't think extremism in amy form is good for our country but it seems to be the latest rage and the tea party is sure getting noticed and HEARD. All the dem hoopla to downplay the TPers and the media basically ignoring them they have risen to public prominence in a very , very short time. That should tell you something... that Americans are totally fed up with the present administration and with politicians on both sides that are lobby influenced favor peddlers.. I hope the days of money running the gov't are over.

Why don't you liberals say on the Marxist blogs . Any view from liberals that endorses someone is the kiss of death. We have had it with liberals. W e are woprse off today then a year ago a steadily declining. Your guys are so helpless they are now claiming conservative advance as their own. Liberals -- they are like you can't fix stupid ! After a year of Obewana and tribe liberals are still stupid !
